Axe Wielding Abraham Lincoln
« on: May 20, 2012, 02:57:18 AM »


Here is the first of our new Weird West Miniatures - an axe wielding, vampire hunting Abraham Lincoln! Ian Mountain did the sculpting on this and will be doing the rest of our Weird West series of miniatures -- as long as we get to our IndieGoGo campaign's funding goal in the next 12 days!

Can't wait! I hope this happens, pledge people!
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

This looks great. I'll check out my finances and will see what I can do. And a company in Guelph! Excellent. Demo game at Hotlead next year?

I thought that it was George Washington who chopped things down with an axe...
Back from the dead, almost.

Love him almost as well as the book  :D

George Washington was a vampire hunter too?

That's why he chopped down the cherry tree: he needed it to make stakes (and an extra set of teeth - if necessary, he'd chomp through the heart of a vampire).

@Chairface: Very possible. :)

@thebinmann: He's the same scale as Ian's other miniatures (Crooked Dice etc) but a bit taller to account for Abe's height in real life. I'll find out the exact height (he's currently in England and getting ready for his trip to Canada).

Didn't he make a set for Capt. Ahab too?

Surely the definative 'wierd' Abe Lincoln is from the Electric Six 'Gaybar' video.  Now that as a miniature would be brilliant, very disturbing, but brilliant.

Actually, Abe used a maul to split logs.  :o
